I love Swiss chard when it is in season and bought a huge bunch at the market. This is a quick and simple way to cook the leaves. This made a very large portion - or two small portions.

Ingredients

• 4 oz. chicken breast
• 4 cups Swiss chard leaves
• 1/2 cup onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tomato
• 2 Tbs balsamic vinegar
• water
• red pepper flakes, to taste

Directions

1. Wash chard and remove stems (save stems for another recipe).
2. Cut chard leaves into bite sized pieces.
3. Slice onions and chop tomatoes.
4. Add enough water to cover bottom of a skillet.
5. Bring to boil and add chicken, pepper flakes, and crushed garlic.
6. When chicken is almost cooked through, cut into cubes (you can also do this before cooking).
7. Add sliced onions.
8. When onions are soft, add chard.
9. Once chard is wilted and tender, add tomatoes.
10. Cook until tomatoes are warm and start to lose water.
11. Add vinegar and mix well.
